Soldier was doing fine in battle, despite having a leg injury and being forced to walk with crutch... and when I looked the combat log, it was the crutch she used to mangle goblins... Nah, I just gave her metal gear and weapon only to make him slower and less op.

I was experimenting with cave-in physics and, well. Two dead miners.

I was attempting to excavate a sun-lit dining room, but messed up some of my designations. More dead dwarves.

Digging is hard guys.

Does Toady have plans to reinstate room collapses if they are too big/poorly designed?

You mean like a 50x100x3 tree farm with no supports for the roof? =D

I trapped some goblins in a passage. In order to have some fun, I told my miners to dug some channels on the floor above them.

Then I stationed a squad of 4-5 elite marksdwarves near the channels and they began firing on a goblin hammerman immediately.
I thought he would fall quickly but he didn't. The bolts, despite being masterworks, were all made out of bones. I saw the squad went back to fetch ammos several times until finally the goblin bleed to death.

It must feel like being shot to death by a peashooter.

At least it isn't a spoon...

[Col_Jessep]

Think about all that free XP for your marksdwarfs! =3

Decided to play my old versions of DF, just for fun. 34.1. Started playing, it was great. Then BAAAAAAAM!!! Dozens upon dozens of giant mosquitos.

 I'm experimenting with mine tracks currently.

I have a track that goes to the top of a cauldron of a volcano because around that area is a lot of hematite and dragging it back from the top of the volcano was slooow.

I didn't look at the help files on it, and I'm still trying to figure this particular track out.

My first run through, I had the dwarf riding the cart. He jumps in, and rides north to the first ramp, and then the cart careens back down south to the track stop.

I decided to let him keep doing that while I played with the track, because it was pretty cute.

Only, as one of the dwarves was deconstructing the stop at the ramp, he did it again, smashing into the poor dwarf, who was badly injured. Then ANOTHER dwarf came up to finish the same job, because the first dwarf was unconscious. At this point I was scrambling to figure out how to stop this repeated process through trial and error. Once again the dwarf on the cart rolled down the ramp at high speed, injuring the replacement dwarf, smashing his rib and tearing his lung.

Unfortunately, I figured out how to make him stop and had to, since otherwise, fixing the track would be impossible. But I think it would have been worth a few more injuries and/or deaths for entertainment.

They're terrible things.

I like to think the merchant caravans once got attacked by them on the way to my fort, offmap. The caravan didn't have much for sale, and they were selling every different type of prepared giant mosquito, including meat, brains and eyes. I bought it all from them (how often do dorfs get to eat giant insects? Well, unless they get a chance to keep Giant Thrips as farm animals I guess...). I felt a bit sorry for them. There they were driving their caravan to my out of the way location, and they got attacked on the way by giant flying things! Least I could do is give them some wooden shields and bronze swords for the food they were offering. Might help them get back in one piece...

Siege sigh. I keep losing crossbowmen as they love to climb over (or through?) fortifications and jump in the middle of goblin horde.

I have a f****n roof over the battlement so I thought it would be impossible to get out, so I gotta give them some points. They really, really try their hardest now.

[utunnels]

Never had that issue. How can they climb through/over fortification?

[dule333]

Well, my first fortress had one huge facepalm (yesterday):
1. I didn't gather plants
            *facepalm*
2. I didn't brew alcohol
            *facepalm*
3. Winter came, the river two tiles next to me froze, and I didn't have any drinks
Urist McMiner was found dead.
Urist McMason was found dead.
                  .
                  .
                  .
Urist McSoldier was found dead.
The last one died 7 days before spring.
*facedesk*

Dug down for cavern and my stairway open onto a towercap and since my military is kinda disabled from a werepangolin, I decided to build a few walls on the towercap. Cue it collapsing, the builds came out of it with a heart mangled and a broken toe.

A positive facepalm for once:

Our manager got suddenly elevated to Baroness (She's the fourth so far, I think something is going on back home, but no liason as yet) and I panicked getting an appropriate office and dining room ready for her with the rest of the nobles.... Then noticed she already had both, as I'd moved her into the spacious Managers Quarters when she became a manager a year ago.
I'm keeping her nobles quarters for the next dwarf to inherit a title.
